Re: Make Perpetuum great again

Well the thing is I don't really like that much risk, infact I take every step to make sure I am minimizing the risk as much as possible, for instance I send a gropho ahead of the scarabs to check if the teleport is safe and a seth will be with or behind the scarabs so it can fire at any ambush. I think making things more risky is fine, but don't let it shut out industrials and make them have to buy 100 rivelers or what ever industrial bot they use a month just to make sure they can do what ever they do.

Re: Make Perpetuum great again

Not entirely sure why, but the old gamma seemed more fun even if it was broken, Gamma 2 was to much of a nerf and overly complicated restrictions. In hindsight I would have left gamma out and added more beta/alpha islands focusing on missioning and PVE content.

Anyways this game has far to little to do, with an unbalanced mess that needs to die, or sold to some other company that gives a damn.

Ya know, when I look at the changes that were made here in perp by Zoom and I look at the changes/nerfs Fozzie announces in EVE, I can't help but feel like Fozzie has had words with Zoom at some point in the past and as a result balances under perpetuum quality dev influence.

As you may have seen in the May Monthly Economy Report, there is a significant upward trend in the Money Supply. This is primarily due to NPC Bounties.This trend is unsustainable. Having such a large ISK faucet is bad for the economy, and this ISK faucet is concentrated to a relatively small number of players.

i am baffled. these sentences contain so much truth... you could easily translate that to both Perpetuum and Elite. its no wonder EVE was successfull for such a long time - they do track their economy

The problem is if they do this nerf, then the Ishtar which is a tech 2 cruiser that costs no more then 300 mil isk to fit up will be able to make the same amount of isk as a carrier which costs 1.4bil isk and up fully fitted as a result of this change.

Plus with the cruiser the rats are less likely to shoot at normal drones and you dont have to recall drones except on the few occasions where they are shot which is much less compared to fighters.

See anything wrong with that?

That's horse ***. A good carrier and make 160m an hour now. This change pushes it in to the 100 mil for the average user range which is about the same as a rorqual
